among and within nesting beaches. Monitoring these conditions and their effects on …

Introduction: Lepidochelys olivacea is the most abundant sea turtle in the Colombian Pacific
and oceanographic conditions at the Eastern Tropical Pacific may have an effect on its …

Eggs of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) were incubated in the laboratory on wet and dry
substrates (water potentials of-150 kPa and-1100 kPa, respectively) at constant …

As global temperatures continue to rise, so too will the nest temperatures of many species of
turtles. Yet for most turtle species, including the estuarine diamondback terrapin …

Climate change has the potential to expose sea turtle nests to higher temperatures, which
may negatively impact sea turtle hatchling vigor. In this study, loggerhead and green …

Locomotion performance plays a vital role in determining hatchling green turtle Chelonia
